I don't have before and after actual dyno graphs. I did pick up around 25hp with them though when I made my ECU+ dyno runs.

If youre going make a comment like that at least back up the claim.

My friend just got the 272s and with FMIC, turboback, intake, custom tune made 356whp. Pretty much right in line with HKS272s only HALF the price.

Everything that Brian Crower makes is junk. His Crap parts have cost me Thousands of $$$ He just got done sending me a check for full refunds but no labor cost. Ive had 3 Other friends of mine from these forums get checks back from him. Ill have a full List and pics of His crap real soon ...machine shop charges from trying to make his stuff work to 2 other machine shop bills from friends.

Crap shop and vendors to date on my **** list:
RNR
Brian Crower

I've read your issues and it really sounds like more of an issue with the engine builder rather than the parts. Hell..after all your issues with the stroker build you wrote this comment:
"Im running his 280s and head kit and have had good luck with them so far.
Ive been working with Brain Crower on the whole build and he has been awesome to deal with"
This was written just a month ago..after you had issues with the stroker build.

I always give a vendor or owner more chance then one and always try and boost a person product but if you had a clue what I've been Thur which i will Post real soon you would feel the way i do. The engine builder worked directly with Brian and trying to make his kit work lol this is my 3rd crank ....which the others were junk. 2 different machine shops in the area had the same problems. The cams had to have the dowel pins cut to make them fit. I would say the only item that went well were the valves and springs. I even got a call from another person on this forum who lives over seas and is haven Brian's own recommended machine shop builder from the mid-west haven alot of problems. He flat out said that for the price of Brian kit $3000 which is advertised as fully balanced and ready to install there should be 0 problems. We have had to machine the rods, champ er bearings to almost machineing the crank which Brian said no to. Yes i have had good luck with the cams so far but i have only 1500miles before my motor blew. But haven to cut pins on the cams when i didn't have to do that with the hks cams makes me really nervous... anyways you guys decide for yourself.

I would also like to make a comment on how Brian Crower and Crower Racing products are different companies. I have Crower Racing Cams, Rods, Springs and Retainers in my 6 bolt 93 DSM and have had 0 problems with any of it for over 3 years. Ive ran these to 9K rpm and over and over again with abuse at the track. They are great products that are known for quality in the DSM World and were used by BR and Shep for a long time. Brain Crower have no relation to Crower Racing Products' Products.

Wrong. Yes he does. He was part of Crower Racing and broke off to specialize in import parts. Their parts are produced in the same facilities AND they make many other well known brands.

I have BC 272 in my 05 mr and the car put 357awhp. Car has all the bolt ons and Turbo Trix Tune. Jeff and Mark were both impressed with the #'s the car put down for the dollar amount I paid for the cams. The car pulls great and I love them. Im actually going to upgrade to the 280 next week and see what they do. BC says should pick up more hp with the 280 so we will. But the BC272 are great and i love mine .

I would be SOON2BEVO friends and i am def happy with and cant complain.
